So from above both the B-schools are giving very tight competition, but my choice is KJ Somaiya.

You have chances of getting calls from K. J. Somaiya and Welingkar. JBIMS and SIMSREE will be a bit tough at this score. You can also apply for IITs and NITs. K. J. Somaiya and Welingkar will definitely call you. You can also look for other institutes like Great Lakes, BIM-Trichy, IFMR, GIM, LBS-Delhi, FORE, IMI-Delhi, TAPMI, SIBM-Bengaluru, IMT-Ghaziabad/dual degree course, MICA. A good score is other entrance exam will also open options in TISS and Narsee Moonjee.

The CAT percentile above 85 is very good enough for KJSIMSR. Hence your chances are good enough. The selection criteria comprises the following with their corresponding weightage.
1. Entrance scores : 35%
2. GD : 17%
3. PI : 25%
